Abstract

El estudio analiza el efecto de las remesas internacionales en Honduras sobre el índice mensual de actividad económica (IMAE) como una medida aproximada del crecimiento económico, las reservas internacionales y el índice de tipo de cambio efectivo real (Itcer). Con datos de series temporales con periodicidad mensual de diciembre de 2001 a diciembre de 2016, se formula un modelo del tipo vector autorregresivo (VAR) y se presentan resultados con figuras de la función impulso-respuesta (IFR). Los hallazgos muestran respuesta negativa del IMAE, Itcer y positiva de las reservas internacionales a mediano plazo. ****** The study analyses the effect of international remittances in Honduras on the Monthly Economic Activity Index (IMAE) as a proxy measure of economic growth, international reserves and the Effective Real Exchange Rate Index (Itcer). Using data from time series with monthly periodicity from December 2001 to December 2016, the model of Vector Autoregressive (VAR) is formulated and results are presented in the form graphs of the Impulse-Response Function (IRF). The finding shows negative responses from IMAE and Itcer and a positive response from international reserves in the medium term.
